Lady Li stood there, her temper boiling. The maid beside her advised, "Lady, let's go back too!"

"You don't know what's good for you." Lady Li snorted coldly with clear eyes.

Yihua Palace

Xiao Xuanchen hadn't come to Yihua Palace for three days in a row. Concubine Yi was really panicking now. She said in a hoarse and trembling voice, "Caiwei, His Majesty hasn't come for a few days."

"Reporting to the Concubine, it has only been three days. I think it is because the previous dynasty was busy with government affairs, so Your Majesty..." Caiwei replied carefully.

"Your Majesty must be angry with me. It was Concubine Wen who served you in the emperor's bed last night. She must be resentful of me because I invited Your Majesty here last time. It must be like this." Concubine Yi frowned, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pale lips were parted.

"Jieyu, how could that be? It's inevitable to worry a lot when you're pregnant, you mustn't think too much!"

"Is Your Majesty tired of me?" Concubine Yi became more and more frightened.

Concubine Yi said excitedly: "Go, go to the Purple Palace and invite His Majesty to come..."

Cai Wei comforted him, "Don't worry, I will send someone to the Purple Palace right away."

Almost two quarters of an hour later, the maid returned dejectedly. Caiwei hurried forward and asked, "Where is His Majesty?"

"Sister Caiwei, the eunuch in front of the emperor said that His Majesty is busy and has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him."

"Did the eunuch in the imperial palace really say that?" Caiwei asked with a frown.

"How dare I lie? Sister Caiwei, could His Majesty really be fed up with our master?" The maid lowered her voice and covered her mouth.

Cai Wei's eyebrows became sharp, and she scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? How is it possible?"

The maid whispered, "Jieyu had offended Wen Chongyi and Consort Xian in succession, and the news had spread throughout the harem. I'm afraid the Empress and the Empress Dowager knew about it. Your Majesty must have..."

"Shut up! Give the order, no one is allowed to say anything." Caiwei said angrily.

"understood."

Caiwei's expression was tense and she felt very uneasy. When she walked into the palace, Concubine Yi was looking forward to it. But when she saw that it was Caiwei who came in, the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared, her face suddenly changed, and she asked, "Where is His Majesty?"

"Jieyi, His Majesty is busy and has told him not to see anyone." Caiwei replied carefully.

"Your Majesty is really angry with me. Why is this happening?" A strong sense of fear enveloped her.

Caiwei comforted her, "Jieyu, that's definitely not the case. His Majesty is really busy with government affairs, so he has no time to come and see you."

But Concubine Yi couldn't hear anything. "Caiwei, do you think His Majesty is really tired of me? Am I going to fall out of favor?"

"Your Majesty has summoned Concubine Wen. His Majesty must be dissatisfied with me." Concubine Yi was immersed in sorrow, her face full of sadness.

Caiwei carefully checked her face and whispered, "Jieyu, Jieyu Wen is now Chongyi. His Majesty issued an imperial decree this morning to promote Jieyu Wen to Chongyi."

After hearing this, Concubine Yi opened her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty conferred the title of Chongyi on her? Why so suddenly?"

"Don't think too much. Wen Chongyi is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor after all. Your Majesty must have promoted her for the Grand Tutor's sake."

Concubine Yi said loudly: "No, His Majesty must be angry with me. His Majesty really hates me." As Concubine Yi spoke, tears flowed down like beads that had broken off the string and could not be stopped.

"No, definitely not."

In the following days, Xiao Xuanchen went to Chonghua Palace several times and summoned several other concubines, but he never went to Yihua Palace.

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan's belly grew bigger day by day, and Biluo often helped her walk back and forth in the palace, "My queen, please be careful."

"I'm always lying in bed and feeling more and more exhausted. It's better to get up and walk around." Zheng Xiyan's morning sickness has improved a lot now, and she is in much better condition than a few days ago.

"Yes! Zi Rui said that you can walk around properly now. It's good for your body and the dragon heir in your belly." Biluo said happily. They finally breathed a sigh of relief these days.

"Your Majesty, how long has it been since you last visited Yihua Palace?" Zheng Xiyan suddenly asked.

Biluo thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't been there for half a month."

As she expected, she whispered, "There is no movement in Yihua Palace?"

"No, Yihua Palace is very quiet, and Concubine Yi has not sent anyone to the Purple Palace to invite His Majesty."

"It seems that she has realized it herself, and now knows how to restrain herself." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice. She is not hopeless.

Zheng Xiyan added: "But I think Your Majesty should go see her in the next few days."

"New Year's Eve is coming soon, and there should be some good shows going on." Zheng Xiyan held her lower abdomen, raised her eyelids, and smiled a little creepy.

Biluo was a little worried and said, "My Lady, do you think Concubine Rong will take action at the New Year's Eve banquet?"

"In all likelihood, the New Year's Eve banquet will be organized by Concubine Xian. If I were Concubine Rong, I would definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is right. As the person in charge of the palace banquet, Concubine Xian will certainly not be able to escape. Concubine Rong can just push the responsibility to her." Biluo said.

Zheng Xiyan curled her lips and smiled slightly, but did not respond.

That night, Xiao Xuanchen came to Yihua Palace. Concubine Yi was overjoyed, but when she saw him, she still shed tears of grievance, "Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best."

Xiao Xuanchen walked forward and helped her up, "Don't be so polite."

After Concubine Yi stood up, she looked at him with tears in her eyes and said in a tender voice, "Your Majesty!"

"Why are you crying?" When she cried, Xiao Xuanchen frowned and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

Concubine Yi said with a face full of grievance: "Your Majesty, do you not like me anymore?"

Xiao Xuanchen reached out to wipe away her tears and comforted her: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Then why didn't Your Majesty come to see me for so long? I did something wrong, and I know I was wrong, but Your Majesty didn't even give me a chance to admit my mistake."

Xiao Xuanchen pulled her to sit down, looked at her with a heavy expression, and said, "Shao'er, there is a truth that I hope you can understand. I am the emperor."

"I have been pampering you before because I thought that you had just entered the palace and didn't understand many things, so I could indulge you. But everything has to have a limit, do you understand?" Xiao Xuanchen stared into her eyes with a serious expression.

Concubine Yi was really scared now, and quickly apologized, "Your Majesty! I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have competed for favor with Concubine Xian, Wen Chongyi, but I really just wanted to see Your Majesty. I just miss Your Majesty and want to see Your Majesty every day."

As an emperor, Xiao Xuanchen can pamper a woman, but he must never indulge her blindly.

Concubine Yi gently grasped his hand and said, "I really know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please don't be angry, okay?"

"Your Majesty hasn't come to see me these days, and the baby in my belly misses you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Xuanchen thought of the baby in her belly and didn't want to argue with her too much, so he said, "Okay, this matter ends here, and you must not do it again in the future."

"Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind." Concubine Yi felt relieved and turned to him and said coquettishly, "Then your majesty is not angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry anymore."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Yi leaned on his shoulder, just like she did before.
